Terre Products, Single Medium Lift Lawn Mower Blade, 22 Inch Decks, Compatible with Toro Recycler, Replacement for 104-8697-03, 108-9764-03, 131-4547-03

What It Is

This is a single medium-lift blade designed for 22-inch Toro Recycler mowers. It’s a direct aftermarket replacement for OEM part numbers 104-8697-03, 108-9764-03, and 131-4547-03, suited for standard residential mulching and bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only for 22-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width; a 21-inch or 20-inch deck will not fit.
• Model check: Compatible with most Toro Recycler models (e.g., 20022, 20333, 20334, 20335) that originally used those OEM numbers. Verify your mower’s model number on the deck or under the seat.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a third-party blade, not genuine Toro. It matches the OEM dimensions (20.75 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, 0.203-inch thickness) but may differ slightly in balance or steel hardness.
• Center hole: Standard 7/8-inch hex center hole—common on Toro Recyclers. Measure your spindle’s center hole to confirm.
• Before buying: Cross-reference your current blade’s part number (stamped on the blade) against 104-8697-03, 108-9764-03, or 131-4547-03. If it matches, this will fit.

Key Things to Know

• Lift height: Medium lift is a compromise—good for bagging and mulching in normal grass, but not ideal for thick, wet, or tall grass (use a high-lift blade for that).
• Installation: Easy DIY if you have a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Torque to 50-60 ft-lbs. No special adapters needed.
• Quality: Users report decent sharpness out of the box, but some note it dulls faster than OEM blades in rocky or sandy soil. Re-sharpen or replace seasonally.
• Gotcha: The blade may require balancing after installation—use a blade balancer to avoid vibration and spindle wear.

Should You Buy It

If you have a 22-inch Toro Recycler and need a reliable, budget-friendly blade for routine mowing (not heavy-duty or commercial use), this is a solid pick. It’s cheaper than Toro OEM but works well for most homeowners. Skip it if you need a high-lift blade for tough conditions or prefer genuine Toro parts for exact fit and longevity.
